Post Subject: Another midbass?!!?Posted by Romy the Cat on: 5/14/2016

We are closing our new house in 2 weeks and while packing and preparing to move I am thinking about the configuration of my new playback installation. I am debating with myself about going with sub 100Hz woofer tower as I described above vs. introduction of midbass channels. As I took my Vitavox 15 incher out of my horns I got horny again from the way how their diaphragms response and I again consider to let those drivers to show themselves off. So, an idea of a new midbass channel begin to drill my mind. I certainly do not consider NOW to go for new midbass channel. We kind of expecting more kids soon, so the grandiose projects with time-aliened 40Hz horns in new hour will be on hold for a while. However, having a number of Vitavox 15 drivers I wonder why no to build a cheap and simple sealed array with let say 3-4 driver per side. Those driver are not exactly best for direct radiation but it will be many of them and I need juts one upperbass octave! I am kind of thinking about it more and more. I have a limited width for my installation in new room. The Macondo along with equipment stand shall fit into 20 feet. With second 15" line array it might be a bit tight but I still think it is doable. I probably will order a cheap car-audio enclosure of 1.2 cub feet for the driver to try how it will sound in sealed direct radiator. I do not have a lot of experience to get upperbass from sealed topology. Whatever I did with sealed boxed was open bottom lower bass. Still, if the Vitavox array will behave nice in sealed box it might be an interesting solution.
